A video footage has emerged of Daniel Dubois’ throwing a party in his Essex home just hours before his undisputed heavyweight boxing fight with Ukrainian champion, Oleksandr Usyk.
It has been reported that Dubois’s father organized a party that had over 70 people attending the bash, some of whom ‘Triple D’ didn’t even know. A video which has gone viral online, shows Dubois being mobbed by partygoers at his house while loud music plays in the background.
Further reports state that the 27-year-old left the home and briefly went for a quick drive. His father later drove him to Wembley after private cars which were accredited to enter the area around the national stadium were used to transport guests to the venue.
Dubois sparked fears after he pulled up to Wembley Stadium just after 8:20pm – 90 minutes before he was scheduled to make the walk to the ring.
He went on to suffer a brutal knockout defeat in the fifth round. The Brit struggled to get into the fight. And despite having some success in the fourth round was dropped with a right hand before being sent crashing to the canvas seconds later with a stinging left, which forced the referee to wave off the fight.
Many within the boxing community have blasted the gathering, which was reportedly put on Dubois’ father stand as a ‘disruptive’ interference with the heavyweight star’s day.
